SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 589,016, dated August 31, 189'?. Application filed lAngus-t 19, 1896. Serial No. 603,226. (No model.)

To a/ZZ whom tuta/y concern,.-

Be it known that I, ALEXANDER FRASER MOINTYRE, a subject of HerI Majesty Victoria, Queen of 'GreatBritain and Ireland and Empress of India, residing at the city of Ottawa, in the county of Carleton, in the Province of Ontario and Dominion of Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements labels, andwhich areformed by vertical and v tions E and horizontal partitions horizontal partitions extending from the front rearwardly into the cabinet. The front or face end of eachjof these compartments is partly covered by a sheet of clear glass or other transparentsubstance, Which holds the tickets'in the compartment; and partly open, so as to permit of the Vtickets being taken out as required. The rear ends of the compartments are closed by an innerj back composed of bars or boards secured( to the vertical parts of the cabinet, preferablyY by screws, so as to be removable when required. In each compartmentthere isa movable back controlled bya coilfsprin g which serves to keeptlie stock of tickets or labels against the glass front of the compartment.

In the drawings the Vsame part shown in the different iigures is indicated by the same letter.

The case or shell of the cabinet consists,

essentially, of the top A, bottom B, sides C, andl outer backD. Both the upright parti- F are made flush with the front edges of the case and extend back into the same a suitable distance. The front angles of the bottom and sides of each compartmet are rabbeted, as

shown in Figs. 2 and 3, to receive the glass fronts G, which are held in place by the'overlapping removable cleats H, which are simply screwed to the partitions, so that they may be easily removed. The glass front extends only highenough to hold Athe tickets in the compartment, from which they may be'taken when required through theopen space above the glass. -r

The stock of tickets or labels are held againstthe glass front by means of a movable backI, which fits looselyin the compartment, a guide-rod J, rigidly iix'ed ytofthis movable backA and extending backward Vthrough an opening, through which' it slides easily, in the inner back K, and an open coil-spring L, placed around the guiderod J, between the movable back I and inner back K. The spring L is held centrally in place by a recess M, formed in the inner back to receive the rear end of the spring, and an enlargement or shoulder N, formed on the guide-rod .close to the movable back. The diameter of this enlargement is equal to the inner diameter of the spring and its length sufficient toprevent the overlapping of the spring when com-A pressed. VVhen the cabinet is stocked with tickets or labels, the guide-rods protrude from the inner back, and when in thisV position they are protected from injury by theback D of the cabinet.

What I claim as my invention in the abovedescribed cabinet, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-" A ticket and label cabinet having compartments formed by the` upright partitions E, horiontal partitions F, inner back K, and the glass Jfronts G, held in rabbets in said partitions by removable 'cleats H; movable backs I, having guide-rods J, sliding through openings in the inner back K; coil-springs L, set in recesses M, in the inner back, and around the shoulder N, on the guide-rod; and outer back D, of the cabinet substantially as shown and described.
